title: Operational research in malaria--why and how?
abstract: Research studies conducted so far have had little bearing on the National Malaria Eradication Programme implementation for want of operational component. In India there is no dearth of scientific knowledge and technical know-how but dearth of operational research of direct relevance to the programme. The rationale for research under the operational conditions of the NMEP is discussed in this paper.
